We will be following the new lottery rules for the upcoming draft. There will be 3 lottery drawings, one for each of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd overall picks. The percentages for each drawing is below. Because of the way the sim outputs the results it is a little confusing so I will also be posting the results here as well when the lotteries have been run. I will run the lotteries on Friday night.
Results:
Lottery Chances for 1st Overall: MTL - 21.86% LAK - 14.75% TBL - 12.57% WPG - 10.38% COL - 9.29% DET - 8.20% NYI - 7.10% ANH - 6.56% BOS - 5.46% CAR - 3.83%
Winner: Montreal
Lottery Chances for 2nd Overall (from worst record to best): LAK - 18.88% TBL - 16.08% WPG - 13.29% COL - 11.89% DET - 10.49% NYI - 9.09% ANH - 8.39% BOS - 6.99% CAR - 4.90%
Winner: Los Angeles
Lottery Chances for 3rd Overall (from worst record to best): TBL - 19.83% WPG - 16.38% COL - 14.66% DET - 12.93% NYI - 11.21% ANH - 10.34% BOS - 8.62% CAR - 6.03%
Winner: NY Islanders

There was a 30% chance i was going to drop out of the top 3....

I am not really sure that me making marginal changes to my team to make it slightly better but nowhere near good enough would have me in a better spot. For me it shows that I have to go even further down the tank road to lessen my chances of getting screwed or at least hopefully minimizing the chances of getting screwed.

I would understand why you'd feel that way Scott.. you were the one negatively affected, so I dont blame you. But I dont think it should be a foregone conclusion that the worst team should get the best pick automatically.. i never really agreed with the tanking perspective. I get it.. and sometimes you have no choice, but it shouldn't be promoted/encouraged.

I was joking about the worst thing to happen to the league but I don't see anyway that it can be looked at as a positive, whether I was the one who was jumped or not. This time it doesn't do too much to me as it likely only means that instead of choosing between PLD and Puljujarvi I get whichever is left likely not a big change but giving teams with better talent free assets for nothing does nothing to help the league.
i am just glad it didn't happen with the #1 this year or heaven forbid last year, as to me that would be the worst thing to happen to the league.
As of now it pisses me off yes but those were the rules I agreed to so I have to live with it.
